Progression guide: For T1 and T2, add 5 lb (2.5 kg)for bench & overhead press, and 10 lb (5 kg) for squat & deadlift.
Switch to new set x rep scheme the next workout when you can't complete total target reps in any set. T1 scheme: 5 sets x 3 reps > 6 x 2>10 x 1 > restart 5 x 3. T2 scheme: 3 x 10 > 3 x 8 > 3 x6 > restart 3 x 10. T3 scheme: increase weight when you can do 25+ reps on 3rd set.
Failure: T1 Lifts [ 5x3 ] -fail-> [ 6x2 ] -fail-> [ 10x1 ] -fail-> rest for 2-3 days and use 85% percent of the failed 10x1 weight to start a new cycle at 5x3
T2 Lifts [ 3x10 ] -fail-> [ 3x8 ] -fail-> [ 3x6 ] -fail->
Restart the cycle with a slightly heaver weight than the last time you did 3x10 (+10-20lbs)
Eventually: Switch pulls from a T3 to a T2 rep scheme of [3x10] then, gradually add 1-3 sets of 8-10 reps for T3 isolation exercises
Resting Tier 1: 3-5 Minutes Tier 2: 2-3 Minutes Tier 3: 1-1.5 Minutes
